Terms to know

Flex-Meal Exchange: You can exchange one meal each day from the Kresge Dining Hall for a combo meal in California Cafe. 
Declining Balance Dollars: These are supplements to your meal plan and can be used in the California Cafe or Kresge. They work like a bank debit card; each time you make a purchase the total is subtracted from the balance in your account, except you won't have to pay tax and it is much faster.
Ground Floor Coffee Declining Balance Card: This card works like a bank debit card for the Ground Floor Coffee Shop.
